Textbook Question
Chapter 27, Problem 9CONQ
The ability to roll your tongue is inherited as a recessive trait. The frequency of the rolling allele is approximately 0.6, and that of the dominant (nonrolling) allele is 0.4. What is the frequency of individuals who can roll their tongues?

If the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.1, what is the frequency of the dominant allele?
. If the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype is 0.81, what is the frequency of the recessive allele?
Choose ONE trait observed in class and explain why one form of the trait is more frequent than the other form of the trait (i.e. why the dominant form is more frequent than the recessive form or vis-à-vis).
